This invention relates to new and usefulimprovements in an oil dripdevice for sewing machines, the objectbeing to provide a simple,inexpensive contrivance ci a drip box and attachments, to be heldbeneath the table of the sewing machine or other machine, to save theoil which drops from the working parts of the machine.

The invention consists in an oil drip pan provided with a box,preferably closed, said boX being perforated cular form, and designed toilt said bon, one lend of the absorbing device passing into a pipeconnected with the box, through. whic, the oil may flow into areceptacle.

These objects l perform in the preferred embodiment of my invention,which l have illustrated in the accompanying drawings, to whichreferenceis had, and in which, similar reference characters indicatecorresponding parts in the several views.

Figure' l represents aside elevation oit a machine containing myimproved device.

Fi 2 representen. plan view of the same, detac e from tlie'fmachine Fig.(d represents a longitudinal section taken on line m-w of Fig. 2; and

lig. 4 .represents the oil absorbing ina- `t`erial removed from the box.

lin the drawings; 1 represents a sewing1 machine; 2 the table, and 3 acasing of ordinary construction. Conveniently located in said casing isa drip pan 4:, to receive the oil which drips from the working parts otthe machine. Located in said drip pan il is a receptacle 5, preferablyprovided with a lid 6, the bottom and sides of said rece tacle 5 beingperforated, and located within said recepten e 5 is the oil absorbingmated and provided with an oil absorbing material, perferably of cir-`titi into a circular mat, `as clearly indicated in lig.y 3 of thedrawings, one end of thc rope passingn through the pipe 8, which is consnected to the receptacle 5 and which passes through the wall or the drippan and con nectsf with a reservoir 9. The drip pan 4L, the receptacle5, and the oil absorbing material 7, may have any sine and shaperequired by the particular construction ot the sewing machine, or othermachine, tc which it is applied. l I.

^ VThe device is extremely simple, and in use, will effect a saving ofoil which is usually wasted by wiping it into clothes or the like, andwhere a large number ci machines are in use, the savingn of oil will beconsiderable; and with the use of my iniprovenient, the goods beingsewed will be less liable to be soiled 'from the machine drip pan.

The object of placing the rope in the receptacle 5 is to keep it freefrom dirt, dust and the like, the sides and bottom of said receptacle 5with perforations, is to permit the oil, by capillary attraction, to beabsorbed by the ',rope and to be filtered thereby before reaching thereservoir', .in order that the oil can e used over and over again.During the passage ot the oil through the rope, it is filtered ofitsimpuiities, and the oil, when it reaches the reservoir, is againready for lubrication purposes. i

Experience has demonstrated that the organization above described, is ahighly ellif cient one, and while the device described.

is the preferred embodiment of my present invention, do not care torestrict myself to the exact details of construction, combina tion andarrangement herein set forth, it

being obvious that minor variations thereof, not involving the exerciseof invention, may be made by any skilled mechanic, and such departuresfrom what is herein described L and claimed, not involving inventiomlconn sider within the scope and .terms oil my claims.

Having thus described my invention, what l' desire to claimy and secureby Lfetters Patent is:-

1. A drip device for sewing or other ina-- shines, comprising a drippan, a perlioraledl by the cil overilowing and the object of providing,1
